#URIGSO's Kathy Donohue is recognized by URI's Office of Innovation in General Education for her course, OCG 200G: Extreme Weather, which introduces students to the principles of weather & the far-reaching personal, national, and global influences of extreme weather phenomena ⛈️

@NYT Rainer Lohmann, #URIGSO professor and @steepsuperfund director, said the new designation could help bring an end to the use of #PFAS chemicals in consumer products, such as nonstick cookware, but not in large-scale industrial products, like industrial pipes or airplane wings.

#URIGSO marine research associate Pat Kelly was recently out on #NarragansettBay with research divers Kris Gomes, Jane Carrick, and Ashley Smith to check up on a mooring that was deployed last summer for #URIGSO professor Melissa Omand's Neried Biomaterials project. 🦑🔬

As assistant director of Public Engagement, Andrea Gingras oversees GSO Ocean Classroom – the education and outreach extension of #URIGSO that brings current and relevant ocean science research to K-12 and public audiences. 🧪🧑‍🔬 🌊 In this week's #GTKGSO, meet Andrea!

🙌 🚧 All in a day's work.... Preparations for the construction of #URIGSO's Ocean Robotics Laboratory have begun! In this 27,000 gross-square-foot facility, technologically-driven solutions for the future of ocean exploration and research will be designed and developed.

🌊 #URIGSO associate professor, Roxanne Beinart (@SymbiosisRox), has been honored with a Human Frontier Science Program (@HFSP) Early Career Research Grant for study titled “Deciphering the Evolution, Cellular Biology, and Biogeochemistry of Symbioses in Anaerobic Eukaryotes.”

Aboard this cruise are members of #URIGSO's Ocean Dynamics Lab, doing research to enhance our understanding of the stirring and mixing processes between Indian Ocean and Atlantic waters in the Cape Basin, with a focus on sub-mesoscale dynamics.

#WhereInTheWorldIsGSO 📍 The Cape Basin in the southeast Atlantic! Erran Sousa, an associate marine development engineer at #URIGSO, is currently onboard the R/V Langseth and all smiles after accomplishing successful CPIES recoveries for the #NSFfunded #QUICCHE project.

💧#URIGSO Ph.D. student Katherine Thompson has been selected as the recipient of @nature_org Global Marine Initiative URI student research program grant for 2024. Congrats, Katherine! ➡️Read more about the funded research: buff.ly/3PZxPRG

From a childhood spent playing in mud puddles, to Ph.D. research surrounding tiny things, like phytoplankton, at the bottom of the food web, #URIGSO student Niki Lockwood has always had a curiosity for science! #GTKGSO with Niki & learn about her work in the @RynearsonLab ⤵

The team, led by #URIGSO's Dr. Katie Kelley, was mapping the seafloor about 400 miles southwest of Mazatlán, Mexico this morning, when the moon completely eclipsed the sun, almost 20 minutes before totality reached the mainland.

A new study led by #URIGSO professor Keisuke Inomura and the Institut de Ciències del Mar in Barcelona finds that UCYN-A, a species of cyanobacteria, may be evolving organelle-like characteristics. buff.ly/3TOMxvO

⬆️⬆️⬆️ #RVEndeavor's triumphant return to #URIGSO after undergoing a six-month mid-life refit, sporting a new superstructure and bridge. Operating since 1976, #RVEndeavor holds the distinction of being the oldest and longest operating research vessel in the @unols fleet!

Developed by #URIGSO's Isaac Ginis with a team of colleagues and students at @universityofri, RI-CHAMP, a next-generation weather prediction and forecasting tool, combines state-of-the-art storm modeling applications with weather-related hazard databases.
